Daily Encounters of the Photographic Kind!

This is one I'm really proud of. First of all it was taken through a window. 2) The window had protective bird netting in front of it to prevent crashes, 3) All I did to it was sharpen and darken it slightly, and BOOM..there were those brilliant colors once again! (I took several shots, avoiding the wood cross piece of the window frame and the on and off sun glare. Oh, and I had held it as well! I plan to return as the leaves and foliage change into more color.) Here are a few of the others...though they come out MUCH lighter on SM??? http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/1855637/1
